Common use of Field citations Clause in Contracts

Field citations. After consultation with the Attorney General, the Director may implement a field citation program through regulations establishing minor violations for which field citations (assessing civil penalties not to exceed $1,000 per day per violation) may be issued by officers or employees designated by the Director, for any violation for which an administrative order could be issued under Subsection (A) to the extent permissible under applicable law. The Director=s authority under this Subsection, combined with action taken under Subsection (A), shall be limited into total amount by the provisions in Subsection (A). Any person on whom a field citation is assessed may, pursuant to regulations issued under this Section, elect to pay the penalty or request a hearing on the citation under the provisions of Subsection (B). If a timely request for a hearing is not made, the penalty shall be final and the opportunity for judicial review shall be waived. Any hearing shall provide a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. Payment of a penalty required by a field citation shall not be a defense to further enforcement by the Director to correct a violation or to assess the statutory maximum penalty pursuant to other authorities in this Act, except as to the days of violation for which the penalty required by a field citation is paid.
